Uncharted 1 is a bad game.

I think I've reached the point where I think UC2 is the only good one. 4 has OK but I remember being really ready for it to be over with like half-way through. As much as I enjoyed the story and character development, I just got so sick of the paint by numbers of actually playing the game.

If TLOU2 is anything like the first one itll probably spoil itself in the first few hours because the writing is that predictable

It really wasn't actually. There is a zero percent chance you predicted much in that game beyond the basic premise.

Good thing ND games also have very robust combat mechanics then.

Also, how does that address your original statement at all? lol

A reminder that the enemies in Uncharted are not bullet sponges, unarmored non-magical enemies can be defeated with a pistol headshot or burst of rifle fire at medium range

How are the side quests / mini games in the Yakuza Remastered games (3,4,5), Judgment, and Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise?

I loved pretty much all of the side quests in the Yakuza games I've already played (0, Kiwami 1, Kiwami 2, and 6) and I spent a ridiculous amount of time playing the Real Estate and Cabaret Club mini games. I'm tempted to pick up the rest of the games in the "series" but I'm wondering if they're all really worth it or if I should just save myself some time and skip any of them. I haven't heard too much praise for the First of the North Star game so I'm a little iffy on that one.

I played 3 and 4 just now, and the age shows, so much in fact I hardly did any side quests. I didn't enjoy them anywhere near as much as zero, kiwami and kiwami 2. 4 has you play as Kiryu and 3 other people and they are sort of ok but the story drags on forever, in the end I just wanted to get it done.

Started 5 now, gameplay and graphics are better, taxi jobs are fun, I am only at the beginning though.

I played Last of Us Online for 6 years and UC4 online for 6 months. I'm pretty familiar with the mechanics of their games and I'm pretty confident in saying they are actually extremely good and often misunderstood.

I thought it was actually a pretty nice conclusion and very in keeping with a godly journey. You get the thing done and it's like "welp let's go home", meanwhile you've sewn absolute destruction and broken many hearts along the way to returning Donny's Ashes to the bosom of the Pacific ocean but that's just what gods do.

Some of the other suits are just kind of meh... either because of the fabric type or color. But the damned comic suit is a thing of beauty.

The good suits in Spider-man:

CARTOON SPIDEY >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Then; Undies Spidey, Bag man and Spider punk (purely because of the tread on the shoes which is adorable).

That's it. All the rest are various levels of lovely. The Raimi suit also makes me laugh because it looks as bad in the game as it did in the movies. Fuckin' poo poo-rear end tiny eyes Spidey.

that said I really hope they don't make Miles a focus of the next game. I play Spider-Man for Peter Parker cracking wise--not other Spider-MenBoys

I'm imagining a Spiderverse game all on it's own made by this team and I think they could do it justice maybe.

Eh I liked a lot of the movie suits, all the MCU ones were pretty good. I also liked the spider armor mk 4 and the classic suit is a nice "realistic" version of the comic suit.

You are absolutely right about the Raimi suit though and I can't believe anyone wanted that or that they even bothered to put it in the game.

well, your kid is revealed to be loki, which means he at very least will attempt the end the world and before that may be tortured extensively. They kinda set it up that he’ll kill Thor, but if he’s doing it because he’s gone round the bend you may end up having to kill him to save existence.
